It’s Christmas 1183 in Chinon, France, and the aging King Henry II has planned a reunion where he hopes to name his successor to the throne of England. He summons the following for the holiday: his scheming but imprisoned wife, Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine; his three sons Richard, Geoffrey and John (all of whom desire the throne), and King Philip of France and his sister Alais (betrothed to John, but also Henry’s mistress). With the fate of Henry’s empire at stake, everyone engages in his or her own brand of deception and treachery, making for a very lively Yuletide!
